Here's why our customers love Cookon

Cookon’s Brisbane factory manufactures a range of long-lasting, thoughtfully designed gas, wood and charcoal-fired food service equipment for hard working professional kitchens. In addition to our standard range, we custom-make ambitious, large-scale cooking equipment for some of Australia’s most prominent restaurants where cooking is performance and the kitchen, a stage.

We’re proud of our high quality standards, energy efficient “Australian-made” products, and our three year warranty, which speaks to a belief in the quality we stand by. Together with our owners, Langford Metal Industries (est. 1955), we’ve become one of Australia’s longest standing manufacturers.

COOKON PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN MADE IN BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA SINCE 1971.

Quality. Longevity. Service. Performance.

Quality build

We take such care in design and build, one of our customers has even called our products “indestructible"! Looking at the internal welds in the two products shown, you can see the difference. The Cookon hand-welded seam is designed to hold two surfaces together permanently. The competitor's (machine weld) is not as safe, nor as structurally sound.

Reliability

We've been working with culinary experts in Australia for over 40 years, designing and building for high-performance kitchens. A lot has changed over that time, but our commitment to Australian-made quality has been unwavering. We're convinced our solid reputation for reliability has been forged by keeping our manufacturing in-house, and our customers satisfied. We're here whenever you need us.

Longevity

Built incredibly tough, with heavy-duty parts and materials, Cookon just keeps cooking on. We've got Cookon units still in use today that have been going strong for over 25 years, meaning we offer possibly the lowest cost per year of ownership in the market. We back that with an industry-beating 3 year warranty.

Efficiency

Cookon products aren't just ruggedly handsome – they're smart too. Designed with years of experience for high performance, superior control and energy efficiency, Cookon is the intelligent choice for hardworking kitchens.

Functionality

Whether they're custom-made or straight from our catalogue range, all Cookon products are designed and crafted with practicality in mind. To us, 'well-designed' means easy to install, brilliant to work with, and easy to keep clean. Cookon's thoughtful, sturdy product design works with you, not against you.

Custom made / bespoke

Cookon is sought after for form as well as function by chefs and owners of high-end restaurants around the country and overseas. Many of our customers demand spectacular, unique equipment which becomes a focal point in their business. Our solutions become part of their “performance” in cooking. We invite you to ask about the stunning cooking equipment we've tailored for top restaurants over the years. If you can imagine it, we can build it.

Remarkable service

Because of our quality, our service technicians rarely get called out, but if a repair is needed, we're just a phone call away. Being in Australia, we can respond quickly. There's no long wait for overseas delivery of parts either. Our products have been designed so any licenced gasfitter can service our products - your business doesn't need to stop waiting for a Cookon service representative.
